How to do it

  1. Lay the radishes so that the root is at the side as a tail.
  2. Remove leaves on the other side. A bit of green remains as a nose.
  3. Carve two eyes with the tip of a knife. Or put two black peppercorns in it.
  4. Make a slanted notch on both sides where the ears will go.
  5. For the ears at the bottom, cut three thin slices. By cutting off the discs, the mouse has an even surface and is therefore stable.

And this is how you make the radish mice

  1. Wash the radishes and gently pat dry.
  2. Leave some leafy green for the mouse tail.
  3. The front tip makes the mouse's nose.
  4. Using a kitchen knife, cut the ears round into the radish. Push them up a little.
  5. The eyes are made from peppercorns.
  6. Either glue them with some mustard or use a kitchen knife to drill two small holes for the grains.
  7. The delicious radish mouse is ready.
